Embark on a 3-hour award-winning wilderness cruise along the dramatic Bruny Island coastline. Marvel at towering sea cliffs, some of the tallest in Australia, and feel the power of the ocean as you pass through narrow gaps, drift beneath crags, and listen to the rumble of the famous “Breathing Rock.” Explore deep-sea caves and witness the point where the Tasman Sea collides with the mighty Southern Ocean.
This coastline teems with marine life. Keep watch for Australian fur seals basking on the rocks, pods of dolphins playing in the wake, migrating whales during the season, and thousands of seabirds soaring overhead. The cruise is led by highly trained guides who bring the journey to life with informative and entertaining commentary.
Travel aboard custom-built yellow boats, designed specifically for Bruny Island waters. With covered open-air tiered seating for just 43 passengers, every guest enjoys uninterrupted views and a close connection to the wild environment, while benefiting from the vessels’ eco-friendly, quiet, and fuel-efficient design.

The day was great . Lawrence on the bus and all staff at the restaurant and boat were brilliant. Had a lovely adventure.
Jordan was excellent he gave us so many facts about every area we passed through making the bus journey very interesting and the time went really quickly. The boat trip surpassed our expectations very exillerating and again informative even though the weather was against us it was an experience to live long in our memories. Bus was quite cold on the journey back but I think that was probably because we were so cold after the boat trip. Blueberry muffin was lovely and the fish and chips excellent. All the staff we encountered were very professional and friendly
That boat was a fabulous way to experience the awesome bluffs, caves and coves of the sanctuary. The captain skillfully took us to many unique and beautiful places along that coast, explaining their geological formations. Majestic and towering cliffs that had eroded into bridges and islands provided thrilling “up close” views as the boat powered through the narrow passages. The plentiful penguins, seals, cormorants and other wildlife were accustomed to the boat and made “photo ops” for all aboard. It was a memorable day, providing lots of pictures and nature education.
Great experience. Josh and Louis were excellent guides on the coach and Louis also on the speed boat. The boat captain was great too. Bruny Island itself was pristine. Truly memorable day out. Snacks and lunch were excellent; the whole day was beautifully organised. Thanks, all.
Absolutely brilliant. Zoe was an amazing guide. A little ray of sunshine and was so knowledgeable. Loved everything about the tour. Bonus we saw a humpback whale.
professional service, good equipment. Besides Bruny Island as a very nice place itself, the ship tour was top notch, providing insights to some caves and the animals there. Seen sea eagles, sea furls, dolphins and even a whale. was a wonderful day.
Great Boat tour followed by great food led wonderful staff that loved their job!
